I saw that the Sugar Sugar blog is having another "Show and Tell Sunday" challenge. This week it is vintage hankies. I have this thing about vintage fabrics and I always look at the hankies at antique stores. I try to never spend more than $2 on one and have a certain kind of floral colors that I am drawn to.
I don't have time right now to photograph my hankie stash - maybe later. But I did want to show off my hankie pillows. I can't bear to sew or cut the hankies, so I bought some pillows, and then crossed 2 hankies on top and attached them by sewing little buttons to the corners. That way I can always remove the hankie and no damage will be done! A clever and quick vintage project!

Those are just beautiful!
I LOVE this idea! I am with you, I hate to cut up linens (I can't take apart old hats either), but this is a perfect way to use and display your favorite hankies, with as you say, no harm done! xo suzanne duda
Great idea! I didn't have time to dig out and take pics of my hankies for the show & tell, but I plan on doing this to a few asap. Thanks for the brilliant idea :)
What an amazing collection of hankies. I'm impressed! My vintage hanky apron show & tell is up. Do stop by. I'll even fix you a plate of my Just Peachy Cobbler. :D
For your daily dose of vintage goodness & a bit of silliness, stop by Confessions of an Apron Queen, the home of Vintage Thingies Thursdays.
I love, love, love the way you covered your pillows. I might have to "steal" borrow your idea! So pretty!

Hello! I love your hankys. So pretty and what a great idea to not damage them in the creative process. Take care. Di
I like your idea of keeping the hankies whole, but putting them to a pretty use. Your hankie combinations are terrific.
